    Balancing Risks and Opportunities with Carine Smith Ihenacho

    In this episode of Financing the Future, host Elliott Harris speaks with Carine Smith Ihenacho, Chief Governance and Compliance Officer at Norges Bank Investment Management, which manages the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund. The conversation explores how long-term investors are navigating geopolitical volatility, regulatory shifts and the evolving ESG landscape while staying focused on financially material sustainability risks. Carine explains why climate risk remains financial risk, why investors must prioritize the issues that truly matter for value creation, and how consistency and long-term thinking are essential in a world of turbulence. From active ownership and responsible AI to global disclosure standards and the energy transition, this episode examines how one of the world’s most influential investors approaches risk, opportunity and long-term returns.

    Addressing climate risks and adaptation through insurance with Lesley Ndlovu, CEO of Africa Risk Capacity

    Extreme weather events are rapidly increasing in frequency and intensity due to the effects of climate change, making it difficult for insurance companies to manage rising risks and costs.

In the second episode of UNEP FI’s new podcast series Financing the future, we speak to Lesley Ndlovu, CEO of Africa Risk Capacity (ARC) and member of UNEP FI’s Leadership Council about how Africa is being affected by climate change, ways to manage climate risks and costs, and the role of insurers and the wider finance community in financing adaptation for a resilient future.
